Cars you wish you had never sold....

My beautiful Caterham Seven....

Sold it to buy a Subaru Imprezza Turbo when my commute went from 3 miles (which I used to cycle) to 50 miles each way. I enjoyed the Subaru, but the Caterham was in a league of its own.... 0-60 in 4.6s !!!

I really regret selling my Defender 90. It was rubbish on fuel, a real boneshaker, but I miss it so much.

That 7 of the OP's is beautiful. I want one so badly!!!!

I was almost more excited about the kit for the car turning up than I was about losing my virginity - almost !

Building it was enourmous fun, every part brand new, everything fitted exactly, came in from the garage with hands cleaner than when I went out !

Build diary from way back when the interweb was young (1993!) is at:

I used to work for Philips Research in the 90's. They sold loads of car radios as OEM stuff to Vauxhall, etc etc.

As a result we used to get invites up to Millbrook and got to drive all sorts of Vauxhalls around the test tracks up there. Fronteras off road, cavlier 2000 2wd gsi sort of thing. But by far the best was the Lotus Carlton absolutely amazing !

I hankered after one of those for ages.....
